If it's really what you want, then get it.

The RX8 is sexier so pick it geez...

I mean look at the RX7


ITS TRASH!
-------------
In a serious note, I think you should pick whichever fits your style.
The RX7- Sporty, 2 seater, Twin Turbo, sex machine on wheels (The athletic younger brother)

The RX8- Sporty yet more refined, Pure N/A power, Practicality of 4 seats, Cool doors (The calm yet if provoked will kill, older brother)


Miata- 2 seater convertible thats light and agile (The gay brother that is popular with everyone, at the sametime condemned for his appearence)

Why on earth would we want to convince you not to buy your dream car? That doesn't even make sense.

If you like to drive and fix your own car and have money laying around for maintenance...go ahead. Remember, it is a 12+ years old car. I dreamed of one too but in the long run it is just not worth all the trouble.

how does that make sense when the rx8 is smaller, lighter and more nimble than the rx8? the big muscle guy analogy dosnt make much sense despite it has more power

if anything the rx7 is a track star vs rx8 as james bond

Yes the rx8 is lighter and more nimble than itself.
btw I chose that picture because he has chicks around him.

yeah i agree, its a shame how dirty the sport has gotten lately. I believe he was the last great clean sprinter in the modern era.
